It freezes when running from my USB hard disk. The game starts but after showing the various logos, it freezes just before the intro cutscene, No error messages.
If I run it from the SD card everthing works perfect.
Now, I noticed that if I have it on both USB and SD at the same time, it always starts from USB. Even if I boot the app from SD, it starts from USB instead (I see the led blinking on my HDD) and infact the game freezes. Unplugged the USB and re started it from SD, and it works.
I must note that I'm using usb in port 1 (port 0 is busted on my wii, it happened many years ago) but I never had issues with any game or hb app.
Last thing, for other italian people out there, the fan translation patch is working
